A demanding, high energy place to work

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Great colleagues, exceedingly friendly, welcoming and helpful - Management goes long ways to make sure your work and effort are recognised and validated - Very positive energy in the office on all levels and in every team - High level of autonomy for individual work within well established structures (as opposed to chaos and confusion present in other workplaces) - Open and transparent communication from leadership - Very demanding in terms of turn around times and flexibility (if this is what you're looking for)

Cons

- Sales oriented office makes it easier for the work and effort of non-sales functions to be overlooked (even though management does put in effort to counter this) - Most main functions and decision making located in US, making communication/problem solving difficult at times - Very demanding in terms of turn around times and flexibility (if this is NOT what you're looking for)

Best company I ever worked for

Business Outlook

Pros

I Joined CarGurus in February 2019 and I still have the same enthusiasm I had on my first day. You can feel that everyone collaborate towards the same goal in the floor. The company also provide an excellent package in terms of benefit and salary. What sets this environment apart is the rewarding culture, your hard work won't be unnoticed and will always pay off.

Cons

In Dublin we are in the development phase, we are growing. Not everything can be structured at this expansion stage but we move quickly and you see always positive reactions to any challenges.
